    The location in a rural setting, out of town was lovely and relaxing with good views (especially sunrise). It was convenient for us because we had a car and driver (but the owners can also provide transport if required to local tourist sites etc). The home cooked vegetarian food was very tasty, the room was large and clean and the bathroom had great water pressure and hot water. The family was very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home.

    Really sweet homestay with lovely hosts. They were so kind and even picked me up from the town as I travelled solo with the public bus. And also brought me to the bus stop when I left. Very kind. The place was really nice too, beautiful view on the mountains, spacious room and bathroom, comfy bed, mosquito net. You get as much water, coffee and tea as you want, which is really nice, because at night it can get a bit fresh outside. They also offer dinner for the guests, which vegetables from the garden, it was delicious. I didn’t visit much around but just took a walk/ hike around the surrounding rice fields, which was sooooo beautiful, I can really recommend it. You can use the offline app „maps me“ to see the ways you can take. Thank you!!

    It’s further from town than we expected, about 3km but we love to walk and found a quiet route into town without too many motorbikes!

    Great views. The rooms were fine with very comfortable beds. Udis, the owner was just brilliant and did everything she could to make us feel at home. We booked again on our return from Bejawa and we were greeted like family, it was like coming home!

    For some reason Gunnung Mas buses normally don't deliver you to this guesthouse and stop at another hotel some other hotel FX, which is some 10 minutes walk from the guesthouse. We managed to convince the driver to make an exception and bring us to the guesthouse. The bathroom combined with the toilet gets very wet.

    The hostess had the best English we saw in Flores and she welcomed us very friendly. The morning breakfast view from the garden to the mountains is breathtaking. The bed was comfy with a mosquito net included. The room was also very clean. The guesthouse also rented us their own motorbike so that we can go to the Hobit cave and Spider rice field. This was very convenient given the fact that the guesthouse is not in the center and close to any other services. We would stay in this guesthouse again.

    The place could use a little modernization. A top sheet on the beds rather than a comforter would be more hygienic. Breakfast was just ok...the eggs were cooked earlier and were therefore cold and rubbery.

    We really liked the location as it was out of town and more peaceful. We had a driver so we didn't have to worry about getting to places. Udis, the owner, was wonderful. She invited us(and the other guests) to a wedding. Our unit was very spacious.

    The rooms could be a bit more cosy.

    Great views, and miss Udis was very kind and friendly. She even prepared dinner for us when we came late in the evening, and was very helpful with all of our questions. Amazing place to explore Flores and Ruteng, and for getting to know local people without any tourists. We used the scooter they provided to see many things, would definitely recommend!!

    The water in the shower is temperamental. There is road noise until after dark.

    Lovely friendly owner and staff. Bungalow was comfortable with two big beds, shower and toilet. A covered outside sitting area was supplied with a jar of Flores coffee, tea and a huge Thermos of hot water, and a large jug of drinking water - so at any time was coffee time! Udis made dinner for us on both nights of our stay and the meals were delicious and very reasonably priced. Hobbit Hill is a good option rather than staying in town.
